Non-National Championships Points

All
Non-National matches will have the same point values based on the number of
competitors completing.

Points
available are based on the number of guns completing the aggregate or grand
aggregate. The number of guns completing the aggregate or grand aggregate is
multiplied by .5 to determine the number of places that will earn points. This
number will always be rounded up to a whole number. Example: 15 x .5 = 7.5
would be rounded up to 8 places will earn points.

For grand
aggregate matches multiply the number of competitors that finished each aggregate
by .25 and this will determine the number of placement points awarded for each
aggregate. Example: 32 guns x .25=
8 places will earn points, 1 point per place.

1st = 8 points

2nd = 7 points

3rd = 6 points

8th = 1 point

This
number will always be rounded up to a whole number.

Example:
13 x .25 =3.25 would be rounded up to 4.

The aggregate points (based
on .25 points per shooter) will then be added to the grand aggregate points
(based on .5 points per shooter).

The number of shooters
that finish each aggregate may be different from the number that completes the
grand aggregate.

National Championships
Points

The points will be doubled for National Championships. Example: in
the grand aggregate, 40 shooters completing x .5 = 20 places will earn 2 points
per place. In other words, for this example:

1st = 40 points

2nd = 38 points

3rd = 36 points

20th = 2 points

For each
yardage placement points will be determined as follows: 40 shooters completing
x .25=10 places will earn 2 points per place. In other words, for this example:

1st = 20 points

2nd=
18 points

3rd = 16 points

10th = 2 points.

The aggregate points
(based on .25 points per shooter) will then be added to the grand aggregate
points (based on .5 points per shooter).

The number of
shooters that completes each yardage may be different from the number that
completes the grand aggregate.

A Rookie shooter is considered to be any new shooter
who is in their first two calendar years of Benchrest competition. (New shooter
means new to Benchrest- any participation in more than two registered BR
matches of any type in NBRSA or IBS would constitute that the person had shot
benchrest).

Rookie shooters are required to declare their rookie
status on the shoot registration cards.

A shooter can only win Rookie of the Year once and
will then become ineligible, regardless of the number of participation years

Match reports must designate the shooter is a rookie
shooter.

To qualify for the rookie of the year program a
shooter must compete in a minimum of five IBS registered 100 or 200- yard
aggregates. The total of the five best yardage aggregates shot during the
shooting season will become the shooters end of the year score.

The highest score shot in the first qualifying
aggregate will break end of year ties, if a tie still exist the second, third,
fourth, and fifth aggregates will be used until the tie is broken.

Varmint for Score and Hunter/ Varmint Hunter rookie of
the year will be awarded at the IBS annual meeting.
